Nepal Could Lead the World on Women’s Rights, Official urges

Nepal’s Deputy Prime Minister said this weekend that the new Constitution to be drafted through the Constituent Assembly should give equal rights to women. He expressed disapproval over the logic that it is not necessary to provide equal rights to women as they are not given rights on par with their male counterparts in other countries. He said that Nepal should set an example in the world by doing what other countries have not been able to do. (Rising Nepal)
